I am creating a cheat sheet which grabs cell values from another sheet. Currently, I use the MID function to produce a certain string of text within the reports.

However, there is a certain cell which provides a value which is either 28 string long or 32 string. So far I am using this formula:

=IF(LEN([c14.xls]Sheet1!$A$197)>28,[MID([c14.xls]Sheet1!$A$197,8,15)],[MID([c14.xls]Sheet1!$A$197,8,15)])

This function does not currently work. Basically, my goal is to grab a certain string from the cell when the text is 28 and grab a different value when the text string is 32.

Thank you.

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
